Welcome!

Nice, it's written Fathom on yours?

I didn't knew Mesa changed the name after starting production of the amp.

So the Fathoms are collectable right now!?

I have to take a pic of my Mesa 400+!

The Fathom in most of Vic's posts is mine. But, I believe that he found a Fathom of his own... :ninja:

Tonight, Fathom, 212 cab, P bass with flats and Sadowsky J5, blues and classic rock.

Tomorrow night, Fathom, 410, Sadowsky J5 and Skjold, southern/classic rock and some country.

This is gonna' be fun... :)

Hey Lobey. I'll join up.

My first bass cabinet was a Mesa Boogie Powerhouse 1-15". Loved the sound, but it was SO HEAVY (I am a skinny chick). I load my own gear and gig almost every weekend.

In 2006 I replaced it with my Mesa Engineering Scout Bass Radiator 1-15". Love the sound on this one too, and it's so easy to pick up and load into the bed of my pickup truck. Also, the downfiring passive radiator feels neat on my feet when I'm on a hollow wooden stage.

Wish they were still labeled "Mesa/Boogie" instead of the new "Mesa Engineering". Liked the sound of the word "boogie".

I think they were always called Mesa Engineering... but I agree, Mesa/Boogie needs to be on the front of their new gear as well :p

The Mesa Engineering name goes back a long way. They own the rights to both names. For a while, it seemed like Mesa/Boogie was being used mostly for the guitar stuff and Mesa Engineering was being used mostly for the bass stuff. But I've certainly seen bass gear with the Boogie moniker, and I personally just think of it all as being Mesa/Boogie gear.

Yeah, in fact IF I recall the story correctly, "Boogie" came from a guitar player that (a long time ago) played through a Fender amp mod'd by these guys and said "Man, that amp really boogies". It might have even been Carlos Santana.

That would be correct, sir.

By the way, the Mesa moniker was something Randall Smith just came up with out of thin air, because he thought it sounded official.
